    This trip was excellent but what really made the trip for me was our amazing trip manager Riana!! Nothing was too much for her and she went above and beyond in every possible way to make sure that each and every traveller had the best experience! She is extremely knowledgeable and seems to have a genuine interest in what she is doing, anybody that gets her as a trim is very lucky!!

    I went with my sister. We had the best time meeting new people from all over the world. Our guide had everyone play games on the bus that would help us all get know one another better. We also would sing music together sometimes. She wanted to always make sure that we were having a good time.
